## Properties of the Fourier transform

An integrable function is a function ƒ on the real line that is Lebesgue-measurable and satisfies
$\int_{-\infty}^\infty |f(x)| \, dx < \infty.$

### Basic properties

• C= Hacking Issue #19 15 September 2009 5:39 UTC www.csbruce.com [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

Linearity
For any complex numbers a and b, if h(x) = (x) + bg(x), then  $\hat{h}(\xi)=a\cdot \hat{f}(\xi) + b\cdot\hat{g}(\xi).$
Translation
For any real number x0, if h(x) = ƒ(x − x0), then  $\hat{h}(\xi)= e^{-2\pi i x_0\xi }\hat{f}(\xi).$
Modulation
For any real number ξ0, if h(x) = e2πixξ0ƒ(x), then  $\hat{h}(\xi) = \hat{f}(\xi-\xi_{0})$.
Scaling
For a non-zero real number a, if h(x) = ƒ(ax), then  $\hat{h}(\xi)=\frac{1}{|a|}\hat{f}\left(\frac{\xi}{a}\right)$.     The case a = −1 leads to the time-reversal property, which states: if h(x) = ƒ(−x), then  $\hat{h}(\xi)=\hat{f}(-\xi)$.
Conjugation
If $h(x)=\overline{f(x)}$, then  $\hat{h}(\xi) = \overline{\hat{f}(-\xi)}.$
In particular, if ƒ is real, then one has the reality condition$\hat{f}(-\xi)=\overline{\hat{f}(\xi)}.$
Convolution
If $h(x)=\left(f*g\right)(x)$, then  $\hat{h}(\xi)=\hat{f}(\xi)\cdot \hat{g}(\xi).$

One important choice of an orthonormal basis for L2(R) is given by the Hermite functions
${\psi}_n(x) = \frac{2^{1/4}}{\sqrt{n!}} \, e^{-\pi x^2}H_n(2x\sqrt{\pi}),$
where Hn(x) are the "probabilist's" Hermite polynomials, defined by Hn(x) = (−1)nexp(x2/2) Dn exp(−x2/2). Under this convention for the Fourier transform, we have that
$\hat\psi_n(\xi) = (-i)^n {\psi}_n(\xi) .$

Without loss of generality, assume that ƒ(x) is normalized:
$\int_{-\infty}^\infty |f(x)|^2 \,dx=1.$
It follows from the Plancherel theorem that $\hat{f}(\xi)$  is also normalized.
The spread around x = 0 may be measured by the dispersion about zero (Pinsky 2002) defined by
$D_0(f)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty x^2|f(x)|^2\,dx.$
In probability terms, this is the second moment of $|f(x)|^2\,\!$ about zero.
The Uncertainty principle states that, if ƒ(x) is absolutely continuous and the functions x·ƒ(x) and ƒ′(x) are square integrable, then
$D_0(f)D_0(\hat{f}) \geq \frac{1}{16\pi^2}$    (Pinsky 2002).
The equality is attained only in the case $f(x)=C_1 \, e^{{- \pi x^2}/{\sigma^2}}$    (hence   $\quad \hat{f}(\xi)= \sigma C_1 \, e^{-\pi\sigma^2\xi^2}$  )  where σ > 0 is arbitrary and C1 is such that ƒ is L2–normalized (Pinsky 2002). .In other words, where ƒ is a (normalized) Gaussian function, centered at zero.^ In other words, the original function f(x) has been _transformed_ into a new function F(u).

### Spherical harmonics

Let the set of homogeneous harmonic polynomials of degree k on Rn be denoted by Ak. The set Ak consists of the solid spherical harmonics of degree k. The solid spherical harmonics play a similar role in higher dimensions to the Hermite polynomials in dimension one. Specifically, if f(x) = eπ|x|2P(x) for some P(x) in Ak, then $\hat{f}(\xi)=i^{-k}f(\xi)$. Let the set Hk be the closure in L2(Rn) of linear combinations of functions of the form f(|x|)P(x) where P(x) is in Ak. .The space L2(Rn) is then a direct sum of the spaces Hk and the Fourier transform maps each space Hk to itself and is possible to characterize the action of the Fourier transform on each space Hk (Stein & Weiss 1971).^ As usual, the term operator'' is reserved for a linear transformation from a vector space to itself.

A locally compact abelian group is an abelian group which is at the same time a locally compact Hausdorff topological space so that the group operations are continuous. If G is a locally compact abelian group, it has a translation invariant measure μ, called Haar measure. For a locally compact abelian group G it is possible to place a topology on the set of characters $\hat G$ so that $\hat G$ is also a locally compact abelian group. For a function ƒ in L1(G) it is possible to define the Fourier transform by (Katznelson 1976):
$\hat{f}(\xi)=\int_G \xi(x)f(x)\,d\mu\qquad ext{for any }\xi\in\hat G.$

^ The present method of letting f 0 =1/2T provides half-frequency information useful for some application of the Fourier transform.

The interpretation of the complex function $\hat{f}(\xi)$ may be aided by expressing it in polar coordinate form:   $\hat{f}(\xi)=A(\xi)e^{i\varphi(\xi)}$ in terms of the two real functions A(ξ) and φ(ξ) where:
$A(\xi) = |\hat{f}(\xi)|, \,$
is the amplitude and
$\varphi (\xi) = \arg \big( \hat{f}(\xi) \big),$
is the phase (see arg function).
Then the inverse transform can be written:
$f(x) = \int _{-\infty}^{\infty} A(\xi)\ e^{ i(2\pi \xi x +\varphi (\xi))}\,d\xi,$
which is a recombination of all the frequency components of ƒ(x). .Each component is a complex sinusoid of the form e2πixξ  whose amplitude is A(ξ) and whose initial phase angle (at x = 0) is φ(ξ).^ Therefore, the complex transform is separated into two component images in one of two forms.

## Definitions

There are several common conventions for defining the Fourier transform of a complex-valued Lebesgue integrable function, $x.\,$  In communications and signal processing, for instance, it is often the function:
$X(f) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty x(t)\ e^{-i 2\pi f t}\,dt,$   for every real number $f.\,$
.When the independent variable $t\,$ represents time (with SI unit of seconds), the transform variable $f\,$ represents ordinary frequency (in hertz).^ A signal can be represented as a function of time t or as a function of frequency f .
• Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) 14 January 2010 23:45 UTC www.riskglossary.com [Source type: Academic]

^ Let x ( n T) represent the discrete time signal, and let X( m F) represent the discrete frequency transform function.

• The Fourier transform 14 January 2010 23:45 UTC www.cg.tuwien.ac.at [Source type: FILTERED WITH BAYES]

I.e., if $x\,$ is a continuous function, then it can be reconstructed from $X\,$ by the inverse transform:
$x(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} X(f)\ e^{ i 2 \pi f t}\,df,$   for every real number $t.\,$

Other notations for $X(f)\,$ are:  $\hat{x}(f)\,$  and  $\mathcal{F}\{x\}(f).\,$
The interpretation of $X\,$ is aided by expressing it in polar coordinate form:  $X(f) = A(f)\ e^{i \phi (f)},\,$  where:
$A(f) = |X(f)|, \,$   the amplitude
$\phi (f) = \angle X(f), \,$   the phase.
Then the inverse transform can be written:
$x(t) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} A(f)\ e^{ i(2\pi f t +\phi (f))}\,df,$
which is a recombination of all the .frequency components of $x(t).\,$   Each component is a complex sinusoid of the form eift whose amplitude is A(f) and whose initial phase angle (at t = 0) is φ(f).^ Each component is a complex sinusoid of the form whose amplitude is and whose initial phase angle (at ) is .

## English

### Etymology

from Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier, its inventor

### Noun

Wikipedia has an article on:
 Singular Fourier transform Plural Fourier transforms
Fourier transform (plural Fourier transforms)
1. (analysis) a process that expresses a function as a sum or integral of sinusoidal functions multiplied by coefficients; it has many scientific and industrial applications, especially in signal processing

# Simple English

A Fourier transform is a math function that makes a sometimes less useful function into another more useful function. It is connected to the Laplace transform. Fourier transforms are often used to calculate the frequency spectrum of a signal that changes over time. Such signals are found in many applications, like recognising speech or handwriting, but also in cryptography or oceanography.

A Fourier transform really just shows you what frequencies are in a signal. For instance, if the signal was a sound wave, and it had the musical notes A and B and C in it, the Fourier transform of that signal will show the frequency on the x-axis, with peaks in the graph corresponding to the frequencies of notes A, B, and C.

You can create many signals by adding together many cosines and sines of different amplitudes and frequencies. The Fourier transform is just the amplitude and phases of these cosines and sines plotted against their respective frequency.

Fourier transforms are important because many signals make more sense when you look at what frequencies are in them, rather than when you look at the signal with time on the x-axis. An example is the audio example above. It would not be obvious that the notes A, B, and C were in the signal just by looking at the signal with respect to time. Also, many systems operate on frequencies independently, so the system can be characterized by what it does to each frequency. An example of this would be a filter that blocks the high frequencies. It can also be used to solve a class of equations in mathematics called differential equations.

Calculating a Fourier transform requires understanding integration and imaginary numbers. For anything but the simplest signals, computers are usually used.
